Let's use this wiki thread to keep track of upcoming conferences, Meetups, and hackathons in the Bay Area and elsewhere related to deep learning, data science, and AI. We can carpool, meet at the event, or simply discuss.

Here are a few to start. This thread is a wiki so feel free to edit my post!

It looks like there are some good Kagglers at the H2O.ai company in the bay area. Here are some top 100 competitors I found in the Bay Area, but perhaps this sort of talk can be organized through the local Kaggler's meetup.

I thought they were going to provide datasets. If we wanna go with our own ideas, I propose using Kaggle datasets. I've already started on a couple of the Kaggle competitions -- the Nature Conservancy fisheries monitoring, and the data science bowl lung cancer detection. I'm interested in the YouTube video understanding one, too.
